Like you did last summer
Yeah, let's twist again
Like you did last year
Do you remember when
Things were really hummin'
Yeah let's twist agin
Well, around and round and up and down
We go again
Come on baby make me know you love me so
Let's twist again
Like you did last summer
Yeah, let's twist again
Like you did last year
Well, around and round and up and down
We go again
Come on baby make me know you love me so
Let's twist again
Like you did last summer
Yeah, let's twist again
Like you did last year
Oh come on and let's twist again
Like you did last year
The lyrics to Paul Brown's version of "I Say a Little Prayer" featuring Lina, are actually from the classic hit song "Let's Twist Again" by Chubby Checker. The song is a nostalgic call to return to the days of twisting and dancing from the previous year, with an urge to find that same passion and energy once again. The verse "Do you remember when things were really hummin'" speaks to a simpler and more carefree time, when people were able to let loose and have fun with each other.
The repeated lines of "Let's twist again, like you did last summer/ year" emphasize the desire to relive those moments and experience that same joy once more. The twisting dance itself also serves as a metaphor for the ups and downs of life, as the lyrics proclaim "around and round and up and down we go again." Ultimately, the song is about finding happiness in the present by reconnecting with the past and the memories that ignite that spark within us.
